Carver Mead - 2022 Kyoto Prize Laureate in Advanced Technology: Engineering Concepts Clarify Physical Law

Carver Mead is a pioneer of modern microelectronics. He proposed a
new methodology, very large-scale integration (VLSI), that would
make it possible for creating millions or billions of transistors
on a single integrated circuit (microchip). His research
investigated techniques for VLSI, designing and creating
high-complexity microchips. This design process has advanced
electronic technologies and transformed the lives of most of the
people inhabiting our planet. Mead also paved the way to VLSI
design automation and facilitating the revolutionary development of
today's VLSI-based electronics and industry. For his work and
contributions, Mead was awarded the 2022 Kyoto Prize in Advanced
Technology. In his talk entitled, "Engineering Concepts Clarify
Physical Law" Mead will discuss a simplified theory that might
serve as an entry point for further development by generations of
young people who feel disenfranchised by the existing
establishment. Series: "Computer Science Channel" [Science] [Show
